‘Hridaya’ (heart) as a body organ governs emotions and circulating blood to keep a person alive and healthy. The predisposing factors are heredity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high serum cholesterol and smoking. The way of living and the way of feeling appears to be quite an important factor in its increasing incidence.
Cardiac problems arise mainly due to improper diet and stressful life styles. These lead to thickening of arteries (Dhamanipraticaya) or hardening of arteries (Dhamanikathinaya) resulting in amigo-obstruction (Vatadosa) and angina (Ruja).
High blood pressure that hammers the arterial walls roughens them and causes the arterial wall to thicken. Fatty cholesterol particles get deposited under the inner lining of the arteries (i.e. atherosclerosis). The higher the pressure more the deposits will occur. Subsequently these deposits become calcified due to fibrous growth and involved arteries lose their elasticity. It prevents blood from flowing easily and may lead to clotting. The clot formation can suddenly choke off the blood supply and lead to a heart attack, stroke or kidney failure.
